permit.

18

Under

circumstances,

if

a

customer

of

retailer

19

purchases

tangible

personal

property

from

the

retailer,

the

20

bill

provides

that

such

property

will

not

be

subject

to

sales

21

tax

if

the

property

will

be

subject

to

sales

tax

at

resale

at

later

date

or

if

the

property

will

be

tax

at

the

time

the

retailer

withdraws

the

property

from

inventory

for

use

24

by

the

retailer

in

construction.

The

makes

other

related

25

changes

to

enhance

Under

consumer

of

taxable

property

or

services

may

be

authorized

to

remit

tax

28

owed

directly

to

the

department

instead

of

the

tax

being

29

collected

and

paid

by

The

bill

specifies

that

in

30

order

to

qualify

for

the

permit

such

a

taxpayer

31

must

accrue

a

tax

liability

of

more
